If you accept that non-citizens have no right to due process, you are accepting that citizens have no right to due process. All the government has to do is claim that you are not a citizen; without due process you have no chance to prove the contrary.

Trumpist America is shifting at the speed of light toward totalitarianism. Republican Senator Josh Hawley is tabling legislation for jailing Americans for 20 years if they dare download DeepSeek. Time to rise up to shut totalitarianism down.

Approximately 20 members of Elon Musk’s staff have begun working within the Education Department. They have gained access to multiple sensitive internal systems, including a financial aid dataset containing the personal information of millions of students enrolled in the federal student aid program.

DOGE is redundant and wasteful of taxpayer dollars. The Government Accountability Office already exists to examine how taxpayer dollars are spent and provides non-partisan fact-based information to save the government money.

So many people around me have seen terrible history from the past. But they don’t absorb it. They don’t understand how those things came to be. They don’t understand our country’s role in terrible things either. They have this idea of “it could never happen here”. It has and it is getting worse.

What’s scary to me is people don’t understand the difference between politics and human rights. Not a good place to be when people can’t differentiate the two.

In the US we are taught to always focus on the effect not the cause. News media is a great example doing this. Never do they focus on the causes of issues, and why things happen. But focusing on the causes won’t get them money. Without understanding causes of issues, we will never move forward.

People I see who read books tend to be more open-minded, less judgmental, open to conversation. People who don’t read are close-minded, hateful of others, and can’t have intellectual conversations. Sadly not enough people are reading. Read more books.

A president’s executive order cannot undo a law or a Supreme Court decision, let alone a provision of the Constitution. Forget that and you do have a dictatorship on day one.

Good listen on moving forward after today. Max always has great shows.
Wanted to look away but watched the inauguration and gathered my thoughts as we officially hit "Day One" of Trump's dictatorial rule. He's artificially tanned, rested and ready to stomp on the Constitution. But it's also Day One of our response. Just don't call it a resistance.

A way to grab power is to make a problem out of nowhere and then have a “fix” for that problem.
We see that with the TikTok ban. The person who started the ball rolling on a TikTok ban is now promoting he will “fix” it. Don’t be fooled, he is a transactional person, it will be only to benefit him.
